Experience the best of Toronto on foot with our unforgettable Best of Toronto Walking Tour. Whether you're visiting for the first time or rediscovering the city you love, this guided Toronto walking tour offers an up-close look at the city’s most iconic sights, historic landmarks, and breathtaking views.

Your journey begins at the world-famous St. Lawrence Market, where your local guide will meet you. It is the perfect place to explore local flavors, grab a snack, or browse artisan goods during some free time.

From there, take a leisurely stroll past the Hockey Hall of Fame—a must-see for sports enthusiasts and a proud symbol of Canada's hockey heritage. As you continue your walking tour in Toronto, you’ll pass by the grand Fairmont Royal York Hotel and historic Union Station, both architectural treasures with deep roots in the city’s past.

Next up: the iconic CN Tower. Ride the glass elevator to the top and take in 360-degree views from the LookOut Level. Feel the thrill as you walk across the famous glass floor or step out onto the outdoor terrace, 342 meters above the ground.

The final leg of your Toronto walking tour takes you along the scenic Toronto Waterfront, ending at Toronto Harbour. Here, you’ll say goodbye to your guide and board a relaxing Harbour Cruise, where you can enjoy stunning skyline views from the water. (Please note: the Harbour Cruise is seasonal and will be replaced with a visit to the breathtaking Casa Loma during the off-season.)
